Chapter 716: Never Give In

In response to Tang Weiguo's question, Zhang Heping took the menu from the waiter and said calmly while flipping through it, "You should ask Manager Huang about her affairs."

"But, you..." Tang Weiguo wanted to say something, but Liang Lu next to him reached out and touched him, interrupting him from saying the next thing.

Liang Lu, the former music class representative, looked at Zhang Heping who was ordering food. It was not until Zhang Heping handed the menu to the waiter that Liang Lu said, "Organization committee member, our team leader wants to discuss cooperation with you in person. Do you think you can spare some time?"

Zhang Heping turned the teacup on the table with his right hand and asked indifferently, "Does your team leader think that I am idle, or does he think that Manager Huang is not qualified for the position of general manager of Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch?"

Liang Lu hurriedly explained: "Organization Committee member, it's not what you think. Our team leader just wants to follow you..."

Zhang Heping raised his right hand and interrupted, "We are old classmates, so I am speaking more directly. I am sure you can sense your team leader's little thoughts."

"I asked Manager Huang to cancel the cooperation with the Aerospace Group just to tell some people that the Peace Group does not have to cooperate with them, nor does it have money but can't find a place to spend it."

"Here's the thing. If your team leader wants to hear me reject him in person, then for your sake, you can let him lead the team here at dinner time today."

Tang Weiguo, Liang Lu and others did not expect that it was really Zhang Heping who cancelled the cooperation with the Aerospace Group.

At first they thought that this was Huang Wenli's negotiation tactic, trying to retreat in order to advance.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that team leader!" Liu Qiangjun, who used to be a team leader, changed the subject and said, "Organization Committee member, I heard that you went to Taiwan a few days ago. What's the situation there now?"

As Zhang Heping recounted what he saw and heard on Taiwan Island, Tang Weiguo and the others looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to mention the cooperation anymore. They planned to let their team leader worry about it after they returned.

...

The investment representative of the Aerospace Group started to panic after receiving the notice of cancellation of cooperation.

They originally just wanted to follow the Nuclear Industry Group, and after the Nuclear Industry Group had negotiated a cooperation agreement for a 51% controlling stake, they would then negotiate for control of the satellite.

As a result, the nuclear engineering group that was in the lead did not have their cooperation cancelled, but instead they lost the opportunity for cooperation!

"What did Mr. Xiao say?" Manager Li, the investment promotion leader of the Aerospace Group, frowned as he looked at the street view outside the window, still thinking about how to report the matter to his superiors.

A young man stood by the desk and said to Manager Li by the window: "The main construction of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station started today. Team Leader Xiao brought his people to watch the ceremony."

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door of the temporary office, and then a young girl walked quickly into the half-open door. "Manager Li, I found out! Director Wang went to Shenfu to discuss the location of the rocket launch base."

"I heard from the Shenzhen government office that they are planning to set aside the Dapeng Peninsula to build a launch base and related factories."

"Map!" Manager Li, the investment promotion team leader, turned around and walked quickly to the desk.

On the map spread out by his subordinates, he soon found the protruding Dapeng Peninsula in the southeast of Shenzhen City, northeast of Hong Kong Island and southwest of Daya Bay.

"Impossible!" Manager Li flatly denied: "There is no terrain condition for building a launch base here, and with the influence of the climate here, they can't successfully launch a rocket!"

...

Zhang Heping did not have high requirements for the launch base, as long as it was close to the sea.

At that time, the rocket launch platform will be towed to the open sea to carry out the launch mission to prevent the rocket debris from falling and injuring people after the rocket launch fails.

In the evening, Zhang Heping did not wait for the people from the cooperation and communication team, but found that Mr. Hua brought Mr. Li over.

Mr. Li did not want the villa here, but moved into Mr. Hua’s Villa No. 4.

The following week, with the assistance of Mr. Li, Peace Investment Shenzhen Branch signed a letter of intent for cooperation with the newly established nuclear power group.

When the project cooperation plan was being prepared, Huang Wenli hurried back and joined in.

It was also during this week that Mr. Hua and Director Wang worked in perfect harmony to establish the personnel framework of Peace Aerospace Co., Ltd.

Immediately afterwards, Tingmei Trading injected 51 billion magnesium yuan into Peace Aerospace, in which it holds a 50% stake, to build a rocket launch site, a rocket manufacturing plant, a hydrogen production plant, a seawater desalination plant, a seawater refinery on the Dapeng Peninsula in Shenzhen, and a highway connecting Nanshan and Dapeng Peninsula.

The reason why the Shenzhen government was willing to demarcate such a large mountainous area in the Dapeng Peninsula was, first, they believed that the area around the rocket launch site was relatively dangerous; second, the Dapeng Peninsula was mountainous and remote; and third, they asked Zhang Heping whether he would build other factories.

Therefore, Zhang Heping mentioned the plans to expand the hydrogen production plant, the seawater desalination plant, and the seawater refinery. The Shenzhen government then decided to demarcate the Dapeng Peninsula and only asked for one thing, which was to build a road.

Zhang Heping agreed readily to the highway because it would make it convenient for him to go to the Heping Space Base.

Another thing is that Shenzhen doesn’t have much money to build supporting public facilities right now, and foreign investors are not interested in investing in such unprofitable projects.

Therefore, Zhang Heping proposed to build a road from Nanshan to Dapeng Peninsula, and let the Shenzhen government plan the route and carry out the construction, while he would only be responsible for paying for it.

There is not much money for road construction, so Tingmei Trading invested 50 billion magnesium yuan, and most of it was spent on hydrogen production plants, seawater desalination plants, and seawater refineries.

...

As the typhoon landed, Shenzhen was hit by heavy rains for several days, and the construction of the underground base of Shenzhen Peace College was affected to some extent. Fortunately, the underground drainage system is powerful, and as long as there is no power outage, the construction project will not stop.

Although the weather is bad, the work must continue.

At noon on the 18th, Zhang Heping returned home wearing a raincoat and saw Mr. Hua, Director Wang, Liu Yuan, Huang Wenli and others sitting in the living room.

As soon as Huang Wenli saw Zhang Heping coming back, she said anxiously: "Heping, we have signed the cooperation agreement with the Nuclear Power Group, and the procedures for the Southern Power Company have also been completed!"

The Southern Power Company was jointly established by the Nuclear Power Group and the Shenzhen Branch of Peace Investment. The Nuclear Power Group provided personnel to be responsible for management and held a 49% stake; the Shenzhen Branch of Peace Investment invested 100 billion magnesium yuan, established the company system, and held a 51% stake.

"Then allocate funds in batches according to the milestones in the project plan and the progress of construction!" Zhang Heping took off his raincoat and hung it on the rack behind the door.

According to the project plan they determined a few days ago, 10 nuclear power plants will be built in Guangdong Province, as well as 2 in Beihu Province, 2 in Shanghai, and 2 in Fujian Province, totaling 16 thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants with a budget of 80 billion yuan.

The remaining 20 billion yuan will be used to build related power grids and operate the Southern Power Grid.

In this way, the Nuclear Power Group and the Shenzhen Branch of Peace Investment can theoretically only influence the Southern Power Company. The nuclear power plants under the Southern Power Company can ignore the Shenzhen Branch of Peace Investment or the Nuclear Power Group.

This is the modern company management game that Zhang Heping taught them to play, and the modern company management system that the mainland urgently needs to learn. "I have arranged a project tracking team to monitor their project progress in real time." Huang Wenli responded and asked:
"After the Nuclear Industry Group read our cooperation agreement and cooperation method with the Nuclear Power Group, they also wanted to cooperate in this way. You see..."

Zhang Heping took the towel handed over by his cousin Zhou Xiaochun and wiped his face while saying, "We can cooperate with them on nuclear power plants. We can give them the six nuclear power plants in the southwest and agree on a project construction plan."

The nuclear power plant in the southwest is related to the power supply of three cloud server centers and the production of several military factories, so the project progress must be agreed upon. If it fails to meet expectations, Zhang Heping will consider withdrawing his investment.

Of course, this is not directed at the Nuclear Industry Group. Zhang Heping also has this requirement for the Nuclear Power Group.

Now, there are few people involved in nuclear power plant construction, so the start will definitely not be that fast.

But as long as we get started, we can always speed up the construction of nuclear power plants by carrying out construction and training at the same time.

As for the task of power grid construction, it fell to Shanghai; firstly, because the industry there was developed, secondly, there were many unemployed young people there, and thirdly, and most importantly, Shanghai allowed the nuclear power group to settle in Huadu.

Meanwhile, Beihu Province was busy building the Heping Diamond Factory, the Heping Battery Factory, and the Heping Display Factory, as well as recruiting relevant personnel to study at Shenzhen Heping College. They also had to customize relevant equipment according to the drawings and funds provided by Zhang Heping, and purchase relevant raw materials.

However, Fujian Province, which was the last to join the cooperation, currently only has two nuclear power plants.

What remains to be discussed are cooperation in Internet and communications construction in Guangdong Province, Beihu Province, Fujian Province and Shanghai, as well as cooperation negotiations with the State Grid and the Post Office.

By the way, after Peace Investment Shenzhen Branch cancelled its cooperation with the Aerospace Group, the cooperation communication group quickly replaced its team leader.

The new team leader was much more humble. While communicating with the negotiation team of the Shenzhen Branch of Peace Investment, he was also observing the progress and methods of cooperation with the Nuclear Power Group. That's why Huang Wenli came to ask about the Nuclear Industry Group.

At Zhang Heping's invitation, Mr. Hua, Director Wang and others called home, stayed at Zhang's house for lunch, and continued to discuss what they had not finished.

Recently, not only Professor Hua and Director Wang are very busy, but Zhang Heping is also very busy.

After the equipment from the college laboratory was delivered, he stayed in the laboratory with the experts and professors, training experimental assistants and producing relevant teaching videos.

"Heping, can you let domestic factories produce your MP3, MP4 players, and digital cameras?" After saying this, Mr. Hua glanced at Zhang Nan.

Zhang Heping said with a smile: "This is Xiaonan's business, I don't care."

"Xiao Nan, what do you think?" Mr. Hua stared at Zhang Nan who was eating and said solemnly:

"After the advertisements for these three products came out, the sales of domestic radios, tape recorders, audio tapes, video recorders, videotapes, CD players, CD discs, cameras, and film all dropped sharply."

"Grandpa!" Zhang Nan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said seriously, "Our Global Trade Company is currently engaged in foreign trade business. Players and digital cameras are only sold overseas for the time being."

"If those domestic products are unsalable, according to market rules, they should lower prices to clear inventory, reduce production, and seek transformation."

"If those factories don't want to go bankrupt, their factory managers should take the initiative to come to our company to discuss cooperation, instead of you helping them to find me. One is actively seeking transformation, the other is passive production, these are two different attitudes!"

"In addition, our Global Trade Company has launched a global tender. In the next three years, our company will only focus on quality and output. After three years, our company will not sell players and digital cameras."

While Mr. Hua was still digesting Zhang Nan's words, Director Wang beside him smiled and said, "Xiao Nan, if we have the same quality and output, can you give priority to our inland factories?"

"Sure!" Zhang Nan nodded and said, "As long as the quality is up to standard, we can win the bid. We are pursuing a strategy of small profits but quick turnover. We want to sell players and digital cameras to all parts of the world before smartphones come out."

Zhang Heping listened to Zhang Nan's ambitions but did not interfere.

There are many things that cannot be taught in words. Only by experiencing them personally can one gain a deep understanding.

After Mr. Hua heard that Zhang Nan's bid requirements were so simple, he and Director Wang looked at each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In today's country, it is not just radios and tape recorders that are unsalable, but also bicycles, watches, sewing machines, televisions, refrigerators, etc.

But the problem is that residents’ deposits are increasing year by year!

If this problem is put forward in the future, it will be the question of how to stimulate residents' consumption.

But now it has become an economic problem.

Too much paper money is issued and the supply is insufficient, which causes the paper money to depreciate and prices to rise, commonly known as inflation.

The opposite is deflation.

Now, more banknotes are issued, but more goods are also produced. Is this inflation or deflation?

Economists cannot judge the size of total social demand and total social supply, and the above cannot provide useful data because the two prices cause chaos in the market.

Zhang Heping once made some suggestions as a consultant, but they were not adopted by the higher-ups. Then he stopped attending any economic meetings because he was a big capitalist!
"Heping, what are you going to do about the magnesium guys?" Mr. Hua changed the subject. As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone looked at Zhang Heping.

"Continue to argue with them and let the world know that the Peace Group and the Magnesium Group are on opposite sides." Zhang Heping explained casually: "When the day comes when the Magnesium Group and the Soviet Union decide the winner, you will know why I am doing this."

When the day comes when Northern Soviet Union falls apart, Zhang Heping’s problem of lack of manpower will be greatly alleviated!

However, he couldn't say now that that day would come for Northern Su. No one would believe it. Even the people of Magnesium would not believe that the huge Northern Su would fall apart!
Director Wang saw that Mr. Hua did not continue to speak, so he had to help him speak: "Heping, what the higher-ups mean is that you can go against the Magnesians, but can the water, electricity and gas of the Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong be restored first?"

Zhang Heping said calmly: "Director Zhuang has already told the Chinese that if they don't make a public apology, they can't expect to have their water, electricity and gas restored, unless they move to another place."

"You have a stubborn temper!" Director Wang gave up helplessly and started eating his meal seriously.

Zhang Heping didn't take it seriously, but since his children, nephews and cousins ​​were present, he still explained, "Don't just look at the surface. The Heping Group cut off the water, electricity and gas of the Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong Island, and the Governor of Hong Kong never contacted me from beginning to end. This is the attitude of the Eagles."

"To be precise, this is a farce that Europeans are happy to see happen. As for the reason, it is nothing more than that the former world powers have fallen into decline and cannot bear to see the magnesium country doing well. That's just human nature."

"I still say that I can't give in, and neither can the Peace Group. This is an opposing attitude!"

Liu Yuan suddenly said, "Since you want to create an opposition, why do you want to earn so much magnesium dollars? And you also force the payment to be settled in magnesium dollars!"
